Abstract
A movable member mounted in an opening in the back support section of a multisectioned surgical table. The movable member is so pivotally connected to a portion of the perimeter of the opening that the movable member can assume a range of articulated positions relative to the back section for lifting portions of the patient's body. The movable member has contoured edges for providing a smooth, preferably padded surface against which the portions of the patient's body can be supported and restrained against lateral rolling. The edges of the movable member are preferably also contoured to define a perineal cutout. Means are provided for locking the movable member into selective positions within the range of articulated positions.
